I don't know how I missed this thread :lol: :D

why people often try and fail to solve a Rubik's cube is that they try to solve every side at the same time, it doesn't work like that. a Rubik's cube is generally solved layer by layer, there are about 7 steps involved. and one can learn in two days. one of my friend solved it in 6 hrs straight with instructions from me :) ..

follow this guide and one can learn within two days.

Solve Rubik's Cube 3x3 - Stage 1

PS:
Pogobat's tuts are one of the worst, badmephisto's is one of the best, but it might be confusing for absolute beginners.

anyway here is the link for his tut How to solve a Rubik's Cube - YouTube

EDIT: Before anyone can ask, Yes, I can solve the Rubik's cube, currently ranked #376 in India. my current average solve time is about 35 seconds. :)
